The goal of AMP Futures, Options & Forex is to provide the latest technology in online trading as well as a constant flow of proprietary research.
Self-Directed Online
Our self-directed online execution service is ideal if:
- You want independent control over the order placement process
- You want speedy order execution and fill confirmation
- You value the added assurance provided by our multiple layers of customer support often unavailable at discount online firms
- You wish to add the futures+ markets to your electronic trading portfolio
For those preferring self-directed online trading, our online trading platforms provide quick and reliable access to all major electronic and open out-cry futures markets. We pride ourselves on lightning-fast execution and confirmation supported by our dedicated customer service team.
Broker Assisted Account
Broker-assisted trading is for individuals who want the help of a licensed commodity broker to assist them in making trading decisions. Broker assisted accounts are especially appropriate if you don't have the time to follow the markets as closely as you would like, are new to futures trading, or simply want professional guidance in your trading decisions.
Our broker assisted execution service is ideal if:
- You make your own trading decisions and want an experienced professional to execute the order
- You follow an independent advisory service or system and need an experienced professional to execute complicated trades
- You simply want assistance from a knowledgeable market professional
- You wish to receive market commentary and trade ideas from a knowledgeable market professional
Using a broker to assist in the execution of your orders is AMP's service option for those who value an interpersonal broker-client relationship. With a broker's assistance, you'll have access to expertise at all stages of the order handling process.
AMP realizes brokers are utilized in different ways and that your expectations will largely be determined by your specific needs. Although trader needs and expectations will vary, most traders appreciate the guidance and expertise a broker adds to their trading efforts.
Automated System Execution
In addition to a select list of professional systems, you have the ability to code your personal system into our trading platform for automatic execution. Many of our clients have spent countless hours and capital developing their own trading system. We have a tremendous respect for that effort and we are here to help in the execution of their system. Other clients don't have the luxury of building their own system and rely on us to provide professionally developed systems. We take that responsibility seriously. The designers we work with are of the highest integrity and ability in the industry.
Our automated system execution service is ideal if:
- Looking for Portfolio Diversification
- Wants a system is a method of trading that uses objective entry and exit criteria based on parameters that have been validated by historical testing on quantifiable data
- Does not want to worry about the time and costs associated with having to monitor a trading system all day long (computer, data feed, software, and training)
- The investor enjoys confidence that every signal will be taken, and operate the system as instructed by the system developer
- Trading using a trading system provides the discipline to overcome the fear and greed that in many cases paralyzes a trader
Let AMP auto-execute it for you. AMP does the work, you monitor the results!
Managed Futures Account
A CTA managed futures account is one where a registered Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) is given responsibility to make all trading decisions. This authority is delegated by the account holder to the CTA through a limited power of attorney which may be withdrawn at any time.
You can use managed futures in a variety of qualified retirement plans including IRA's, trusts, and pensions.
CTAs are "National Futures Association" members who manage investor's assets using investments in the commodities markets just as a stock mutual fund manager would invest his client's assets in a variety of different stocks.
If an unskilled person attempted to practice law or medicine, he or she would probably perform quite poorly, just like many non-professional and unskilled "do it yourself" futures traders. So it comes as no surprise that in the highly complex and challenging field of commodity futures trading, the vast majority of non-professional, amateur traders do lose. Professional Commodity Trading Advisors may experience an appreciably higher success rate than the individual amateur trader. The fact is, there are numerous Commodity Trading Advisors with consistent returns achieved through prudent money management! You are, however, subject to the risk of loss no matter who is managing your money.

Self-Directed IRA's Accounts
An IRA is a tax-deferred personal savings plan or, in some specific cases, a tax-free plan. Technically, it’s a trust account created and maintained for the exclusive benefit of you or your beneficiaries, so it must be established with a qualified and independent trustee. You may not be your own trustee. Thus, you must find a trustee for your IRA account, and you should be sure to verify that the trustee you select allows self-directed futures and options trading, or if you're interested in trading foreign exchange, make sure the trustee allows self-directed trading in spot foreign currencies.
